Can I amend my Montana state tax return?

Yes, individuals can amend their Montana state tax return. The Montana Department of Revenue allows taxpayers to make changes to their previously filed returns by submitting Form 2, which is the Montana Individual Income Tax Return. To initiate the amendment process, a taxpayer should complete the form with the necessary corrections and provide an explanation for each change made. It is important to include any supporting documentation, such as W-2 forms or additional schedules, that may be required due to the alterations. Taxpayers should ensure that they file the amended return within the time frame specified by Montana law, generally within three years from the original due date of the return or within one year from the date they paid the tax, whichever is later. Once the amended return is submitted, the Montana Department of Revenue will review the changes and notify the taxpayer of any adjustments to their tax liability.
